LOUISVILLE — Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin will come to Kentucky next month to campaign for GOP candidate for governor David Williams.

Williams has a fundraiser with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tonight, and he previously got fundraising help from Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour.

But Williams wasn’t ready to discuss all the details of Walker’s trip to Kentucky.

Walker received national attention earlier this year when he curbed collective bargaining for state worker unions in his budget, which was passed by the Republican-controlled Wisconsin legislature. But the protests of workers and walkout of Democratic lawmakers made national news and put Walker into the national spotlight.

That political battle led to recall elections in the Wisconsin legislature, leading two Republican state senators to lose their seats, but Republicans still retaining control of the chamber.
